No doubt some Guns N’ Roses fans felt that the closest they would get to the band would be via the 3-D concert movie, “Appetite for Democracy,” due for a summer release.

Then came word this week that the eight-piece band, led by original member Axl Rose, will headline a late show on June 1 at the Lone Star Amphitheater, 602 E. 19th St.

The show will kick off at 9 p.m. Opening acts have not been announced.

Regardless, tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, April 26, at outlets in Lubbock (Ralph’s Records and the KFMX radio station), and more in Amarillo, Midland and Odessa.

In addition, fans can buy tickets online at frontgatetickets.com, or use a credit card to purchase tickets by phone at (888) 512-7469.

Tickets for the pit, closest to the stage, are $75.

For those who prefer sitting on the grass-covered hill overlooking the stage, general admission seating on the grass is $55.

The Guns N’ Roses lineup that recorded “Welcome to the Jungle,” “Sweet Child o’ Mine,” “Paradise City” and other hits in the late 1980s included Axl Rose singing, lead guitarist Slash, Izzy Stradlin on rhythm guitar, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler.

Rose is the only original member still leading the band.
